Hello, I’m Lilla — welcome to my corner of the internet.

About Me

I'm a nutrition coach and diet & nutrition practitioner, former professional chef, endurance runner, and lifelong student of health, wellbeing, and human performance.

I'm the writer behind this website, where I share practical, evidence-informed insights on nutrition, healthy living, longevity, mindset, and sustainable lifestyle habits.

My mission is simple: to help people build healthier, more active lives that support long-term wellbeing without extreme diets, unrealistic routines, or short-term fixes. I believe that healthy eating, daily movement, quality sleep, and mental wellbeing form the foundation of lasting health, and that consistency matters far more than perfection.

Through a combination of formal nutrition education, professional culinary experience, over nine years of endurance training, daily fitness practice, and personalised nutrition planning, I share realistic strategies that help people improve their health in a sustainable and enjoyable way.

My Background

My interest in health and self-development began during my teenage years, sparked by a fascination with psychology, human behaviour, and habit formation. Over time, this curiosity evolved into a lifelong commitment to learning, personal experimentation, and healthy living.

Today, I combine formal education with hands-on experience across nutrition, fitness, cooking, and lifestyle optimisation.

My experience includes:

• Level 3 Diploma in Diet and Nutrition (Oxford Learning College)
• Over 9 years of long-distance running and endurance training, with extensive experience in nutrition for performance and recovery
• Regular training that combines running, strength training, and cardiovascular fitness
• Professional experience as a chef, including four years specialising in allergy-aware and special-diet cooking
• Creating personalised nutrition plans tailored to different ages, lifestyles, activity levels, and health goals, including healthy weight management, sports performance, healthy ageing, and general wellbeing
• Extensive experience in from-scratch cooking, meal preparation, food fermentation, and sourdough bread making
• Practical experimentation with a range of dietary approaches to better understand their effects on energy, recovery, body composition, and long-term health
• Ongoing practice of meditation and mindful living to support resilience, stress management, and mental clarity

Rather than promoting rigid rules or quick fixes, I focus on sustainable habits, flexibility, and long-term behavioural change that can be maintained in real life.

Education and Analytical Approach

My work combines practical experience with an analytical approach to health and wellness.

My educational background includes:

• Degree in Economics
• Master's studies in Business Development
• Restaurant Manager Qualification (2-year programme)
• Level 3 Diploma in Diet and Nutrition (Oxford Learning College)

This blend of education and real-world experience helps me evaluate health information critically, interpret research responsibly, and present content in a way that is practical, balanced, and easy to apply.

Nutrition, Culture, and Lifestyle

Having lived and worked in different countries, I have been exposed to a wide variety of cultures, cuisines, and approaches to health and lifestyle. These experiences have broadened my understanding of how different communities approach nutrition, movement, and longevity.

I am also a strong believer in minimalism and simplicity. In my experience, simplifying daily routines makes healthy habits easier to maintain, reduces unnecessary stress, and creates more space for the behaviours that truly support long-term wellbeing.

Psychology and Behaviour Change

Many of the topics covered on this website extend beyond nutrition and exercise into the areas of mindset, motivation, and sustainable behaviour change.

My long-standing interest in psychology, self-development, and behavioural science strongly influences the way I research and write content. For articles that explore deeper psychological topics, I also collaborate with a close friend who is a qualified psychologist to help ensure these subjects are approached thoughtfully and responsibly.
